This trip exceeded our expectations! Excellent in all aspects! Our family of 11 ranged in age from 21-76. We booked directly through Metropolitan Touring, and it was fabulous. Our manager at La Pinta answered all the questions. Our guides were incredibly knowledgeable. Our waiter took special care to deal with our family members with food allergies. Our cabin attendant took special care of our wet clothes and shoes.

This was one of the best trips we have ever taken. Everything was exceptional, from the booking process to the pickup/drop-offs to and from the airports. The crews on La Pinta and Mashpi were very knowledgeable; their service was exceptional. The food was terrific. The daily water and land activities were just fabulous and the highlight of the trip. I recommend Metropolitan Touring, who created the best-ever itinerary.

It was a superb trip with a helpful and friendly crew and a great food and everything aboard was very comfortable. Every day, We had opportunities to see unique wildlife in a small group. We also snorkeled most days and went on small boat trips, too. The naturalists were well-informed, entertaining, and caring and took a marvelous set of photos, which they sent us for free. The best way to see the Galapagos.
